Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : mutt (MDKSA-2006:115)

High Nessus Plugin ID 21777

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A stack-based buffer overflow in the browse_get_namespace function in imap/browse.c of Mutt allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via long namespaces received from the IMAP server.Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
